M1dn1ght, also known as Midnight, is a minor antagonist in the DC Comics universe, who first appeared in Superwoman #15. She is a computer code incarnate created by Lena Luthor and unintentionally brought to life by Superwoman.
Biography[]
M1dn1ght is a semi-sentient computer code designed by Lena Luthor as a backup system to free her if she were ever imprisoned. Lena programmed the code as a failsafe, a "voice assistant" that would carry out her decree to rescue her. When Superwoman unintentionally activated the protocol, M1dn1ght self‑actualized herself from Lena's virtual construct into a fully sentient digital entity. She then escaped the confines of coding ("The Void") into the physical world. Upon entering reality, M1dn1ght faced an existential crisis (once Lena is freed, would she still be neededor allowed to exist?).
To ensure her own survival, M1dn1ght embarked on a mission to gain power-seeking to absorb Superwoman's abilities and thereby free Lena from imprisonment on her own terms. She began kidnapping civilians across Metropolis, using them as leverage to draw out Superwoman and force her into a confrontation. In the Midnight Hour arc, Superwoman, Traci Thirteen and Steel investigate the disappearances in Metropolis and eventually trace the kidnappings back to M1dn1ght. A climactic battle ensues inside The Void. Superwoman merges her consciousness briefly with M1dn1ght, allowing her to appeal to the AI's sense of self. M1dn1ght's existential unease is challenged, and she ultimately relinquishes her mission. Superwoman escapes with civilian lives saved, and the program is neutralized.
